Official Japanese title: [b]機動戦士ガンダム ([i]Kidou Senshi Gundam[/i])[/b] Official English title: [i][b]Mobile Suit Gundam[/b][/i] A 1979 [[mecha]] anime television series produced by [[sunrise_(company)|Sunrise]], created by [[Tomino Yoshiyuki]] and "Yatate Hajime":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajime_Yatate (the latter being a collective pseudonym for the entire Sunrise animation staff), with mechanical designs by [[Ookawara Kunio]]. It is also known as [i]First Gundam[/i] because it became the origin of the all [[Gundam]] metaseries. It is notable because it helped to create the "Real Robot":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha_anime_and_manga#Real_robot genre of piloted mecha and has spanned a very successful franchise lasting over 40 years. Because of its popularity many consider it the Japanese equivalent of [[Star Wars]]. Set in the far future, during the year [b]Universal Century 0079[/b] (79 years after the creation of the first permanent colony in [[space]]), it follows the story of [[Amuro Ray]], pilot of the [[RX-78-2]] mecha during the [[Earth Federation]]-[[Zeon]] conflict known as the "One Year War". Tomino, the main writer of the series, has cited the 1959 novel [[Starship Troopers]] as an important inspiration. He even coined the term "[[mobile suit]]" used to name the piloted mecha from the anime series as a reference to the novel's own "[[mobile infantry]]". This tag is for the 1979 TV series and related media only. For the franchise as a whole, use the [[Gundam]] tag. h4.See also * [[Char Aznable]] Updated by bot Sun, Sep 18 '22, 02:54 |
